First impressions was entering reception with an angry customer wanting to speak to the manager. Upon entering the room without any help by the staff the floor was dirty, the balcony furniture had to be cleaned, the Televisions did not work and the remote was held together with sticky tape, the bathroom basin leaked onto the floor and your feet and so on. I did not complain because it was only a 1 night stop over but later when asked I told them the basin is leaking. The next morning we had a knock on the door, the maintenance guy wanted to fix the basin, I told him if he could wait for a few minutes because we were getting ready to leave,he was not impressed and walked off without a word. When checking out the manager ask how was our stay so I tried to explain but every time I mentioned a fault he repeatedly made me repeat myself. I then realised that was his way of avoiding the issue and it was not just him not understanding me for I am Greek. Oh and the breakfast (what a joke) sour faces everywhere.

Disliked: Room comfort
A good place to stay for one or two nights .
Very commercial,busy area.The breakfast was closed by 9:30 am!
The beds were not comfortablbe.The staff was friendly.
If you want to visit this hotel after september month, then prepare to be without any breakfast, without any room service, without any reception desk, without any hot water, without any heating and Empty swimming pools even when the water is still hot.
All you will get is a key to your room and then you are on your own.
Upon arrival I was told that my Reservation that I had paid for over Expedia for 4 nights for 3 people was only a room for 1. .. How do you make this mistake??? Didn't they notice that I had PAID for the more expensive room?
The old man who runs the hotel was sarcastic about my booking and told me I'd have to pay extra.... I was only given one towel for three of us to shower with,... The room smelled like poo the whole time. I tried to spray perfume it never helped the drain pipes must be full of poo???
The rooms were dirty and sheets had stains. The bathroom was rusty and the hot water never worked. I got an apology from the daughter the next day in reception but she never agreed to giving me anything extra other than a baby pen for my 5 month old to sleep in. And the extra towels... Once again .... It wasn't the room I PAID for.... I also paid extra for breakfast 10 euros... What a joke... Atleast make breakfast worth waking up for. Fake ham and slices of cheese and bread.... Some cheap cereal and cheap milk. Cheap coffee and cheep juice... I ordered a hot chocolate and never got a receipt... I thought maybe it's free.... Then the waiter stopped me and told me to pay... I had invited my sister in-law to my room so that she could help me with my baby but once again I was treated like a 10 year old and was pestered by the reception that no guests were aloud in my room. They called my room twice to notify me of the rules.
Over all quite embarrassed.
Booked this hotel as it looked nice in the pictures and was rating 3 stars, according to my confirmation should be a double bed and a sofa in the room, surprisingly when i got the room was a very small room (second floor #221) that barely fit a double bed w/very uncomfortable mattress,the wifi that was suppose to have connection wasn't working in my room and unfortunately couldn't verify my confirmation (that should have a sofa also in the room)and what was even worst the tiny shower wasn't function and we couldn't take a shower and even though they had clean bathroom floor was still wet from leak in the toilet, doors are old and banging every time somebody from another room close the door we had to jump, needless to say we didn't sleep all night and next morning we went to breakfast to find a tray w/ few slices of cheese and few slices of cold cuts that is all as i turn around other guest mention that that is what they get every day, we had enough took our luggage and check out (we had pre pay for 3 nights and left after 1st night) they told us they will give us another room as they will not reimburse us but after the worst night we had we wouldn't stay there for anything, not sure how and who rates the hotels but this hotel from our part deserve no stars (maybe they have a few better rooms probably) but our experience was terrible
It was a horrible experience. The hotel is not what has been advertised and the management is very unfriendly. I never would suggest it to any one.

decent hotel
the hotel is nice, but this part of town isn't really that appealing in terms of quality of beach and things to do. hotel owner is very nice though. meal times are very strict, as if we want to plan our vacation around a strict breakfast time (between 8 and 9am only).

Decent hotel in a rather boring area. There are more exciting areas in Crete. Owner is very helpful and kind.
